Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil
Ok, I can't take it anymore. This thing about cap size and it's relation to the sound is complete garbage. Rauliruegasexplained the reason for the size differences, but like a lot of good advice offered to you here, such as burn in time, you choos...

Volleyguy, what's this jump to Sonicap's and Duelund? We were talking about Sonicap vs Mundorf....remember? You're also choosing to totally ignore the fact that any and all of the caps you're trying out need to burn in before any judgement can be ...

Volleyguy, the Tempo rating on the Sonicap's is for use in electronics, not crossovers. In crossovers, I doubt you could tell much, if any difference after they have fully burned in. 
Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil
Volleyguy, it's my personal experience that the Sonicap's are very, very close to the Mundorf's in preformance when used in speaker crossovers. I believe you only gave the Sonicap's 30 hours, which isn't anywhere near enough time for them to bloom...

I have to comment on your experiment. One can not form an accurate opinion on how any of the caps you're trying sound without letting them burn in for at least 200 hours, 400 would be even better. You're doing yourself a disservice by swapping the... 
Why No New SACD Along With New Vinyl
"According to the RIAA, vinyl outsells SACD and DVD-audio combined by a 4-to-1 margin. Business is business, sad to say."If that were the case, then someone is making very poor business decisions as there were only 1 million new LP's sold last yea... 
Why No New SACD Along With New Vinyl
You can thank Sony's lack of support along with the greed of musicians/agents in that for releases in the USA, they wanted 3 times the royalties due to the 3 layers on hybrid SACD's. That alone killed it here. Hi-rez Blu-Ray? Yeah, I'm not buying ...

Best version of Polk SDA1 monitors?
Ok, yours are mounted horizontally and yes, it makes a difference. Your version is either the SDA 1 or the SDA 1A. One of the tweeters is an dimensional tweeter, the other is stereo. Polk found that the dimensional tweeter wasn't needed and in fac... 
Best version of Polk SDA1 monitors?
Just to be clear, are your tweeters side by side or one on top of the other? 
Polk Audio Speaker Search
The SDA series are much better speakers than your Monitors, especially the last TL versions. Avoid the early versions with the two horizontally mounted tweeters. The SDA TL series are also better than the LSi series.

Terminate This: Bare Wire vs Connectors
Pick your poison, no one can hear the difference anyway. For the record, I like banana plugs.

I'll just throw this out. I'd look at the speakers as the culprit as I've never heard a B&W speaker that didn't sound wrong in the high frequencies. Do you have any other speakers you could try to see if the issue is the B&W's or something... 
has anybody heard Martinlogan w/ MIT?
"I am not used to such a solid image or depth of image detail like these guys were getting from the ML's."That's exactly what MIT cables will do.
